A recap of the days news. Another cohenrelated problem out today, New York State tax authorities want to talk to Michael Cohen about the Trump Foundation. The states Attorney General sued the president and his three oldest children, accusing the charity and the trump family of sweeping violations of Campaign Finance laws, selfdealing and illegal coordination with the president ial campaign. No one knows where the next legal blow will land. Already facing many years in prison after yesterdays verdict, the former Campaign Manager Paul Manafort heads to a second trial next month. And then this one, prosecutors are expected to bring even more evidence. Theres the matter of the president s legal team still in the dark over what don mcgahn told investigators in some 30 hours of testimony. The stakes for the upcoming midterms are under fire. Republicans will dodging the questions. That is a lot to get to in one

Moment but first of all, let me tell you where i am. This is the very landing area in order to get to Ketron Island where the 29yearold crashed that plane. Now, to give you an idea of how sparsely populated that is, the last census said theres only 17 residents living there. We now know theres dozens of investigators at that site. They would have left from here in order to get there. It is about a 10 minute ferry ride. The first as well as the data recorder. Ultimately, what evidence they could yield . We dont know. Of course, we do have a lot of conversation between air Traffic Control and the horizon employee. As for the pilot himself, obviously, he went through extensive needs means to get that. He had to taxi it and take off. Here, theres a lot of questions how this person who seemingly had no fliying experience was able to get that aircraft airborne. He played a lot of video games. Maybe that gave him the wherewithal to do this but still, so many questions as to how he got that ai
A recap of the days news. When you listen to the rhetoric of the politicians and the leaders and the people in that movie, right, and i remember listen, i remember one of my friends, a white kid. I went to pick him up at his restaurant in louisiana. We were going out. I was going to lsu. He was talking about some incident that happened in the restaurant because his family owned it. I said, who are you talking about . He said, whos that . He said, just some that works for us. Then he caught himself. He didnt realize that word gets thrown around a lot. That i was there. This was 1987. 86. And it just it jolted me. It was a moment. It was like a moment of complete awakening for me. I think this movie, im sure youre hoping its going to be the same way for some people. I hope so. I mean, as an artist, as a filmmaker, whether youre whatever you are, you put your stuff out there and you hope that people connect to it. You know, in my case, don, ive had several films that people didnt get when
Rachel Maddow takes a look at the days top political news stories. Comments are anything to go by. The New York Times reported that the serving White House Counsel Don Mcgahn has done more than 30 hours of voluntary interviews with the special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team of prosecutors. Shortly there after we got new reporting from the times about the president s personal lawyer being sqozed, for look of a better term. The Wall Street Journal is first on the story as they have bone the criminal intrigue surrounding president trumps long time lawyer Michael Cohen from the very beginning. But following the initial reporting a couple weeks ago that the potential charges Michael Cohen might be facing, now the New York Times as of yesterday and the Associated Press as of today, who have both match that had story. So the Wall Street Journal and the ap and the New York Times, all now reporting that Michael Cohens legal vulnerability may be at least in part rehated to

Sentence in this case and you agree to cooperate. And i think from Robert Muellers perspective it would be worth it because even if Paul Manafort doesnt have anything incriminating i think Robert Muellers quest is to get to the truth and Paul Manafort certainly knows a lot of what happened. He was present at that june 2016 meeting at trump tower. He has all the connections with the russians and the ukrainians and so it seems that hes in a position to know a lot of what was happening with regard to any connections with russia. So i think we might see that. Barbara mcquade, former u. S. Attorney in michigan. Thank you, barb. Really good to have you here tonight. Thanks, rachel. What a day.
